[pct-l] PCT signage..........

[Donna Saufley]

Signage is a very complex subject.  The PCT passes through many different
agency jurisdictions (BLM, USFS, National Parks, as well as state, county
and private lands).  Each of those different agencies has their own methods
and requirements for signage, and some, especially in wilderness areas, are
quite restrictive.   What you propose would not be acceptable in most if not
all of the jurisdictions the trail passes through.

 

The best thing to do to improve signage is work through the PCTA’s local
trail managers, who will in turn work with the respective agencies if there
is a need to improve signage.

Is there some reason why the PCTA couldn't hand out a dozen new PCT metal
markers (and some light weight nails) to a couple of the older repeat hikers
who know the trail. Hand them out at Kick Off and have the hikers post them
where the confusing intersections are during their hike. The old fashioned
little tree markers should work just fine. This would help the first timers
on their hike.
